Find out client IP where the user login the API Developer Portal

Products

• CA API Developer Portal

Issue/Introduction

Find out the IP addresses of systems from where API Portal is being logged in.

Environment

Release : 4.5, 5.1

Component : API PORTAL

Resolution

The login info is in audit log, but it doesn't include the client IP.

Workaround:

1. check Audit log, and find the timestamp of the user login,

2. dump the log of portal_dispatcher container,

docker service logs portal_dispatcher  > disp.log 2>&1

3. search into the output file (disp.log) with keyword "api/apim/authenticate/login"

for example, if you find the message like this,

portal_dispatcher.0.x9esud38lp88@myportalhost    | [fce1f5a1a42f,9004876fc0e887a002 0716abb207790d,9004876fc0e887a0] 111.222.333.444 - - 05/Jul/2022:00:34:34 +0000 "POST / api/apim/authenticate/login HTTP/1.1" 200 115 1.043

And the timestamp is matching the audit log on step 1, then the IP in this message (111.222.333.444 in above message) is the client IP.
